Happy new year mate.
Hope you getting over your hangover. Mine was gone by around 10 thanks to the tablets and 2 litres of water I knocked back before sleeping.
Nice work with the PS mate. Looks like we are all starting to challenge ourselves. Like the highlights on the guys jacket.
Take it easy mate.

Hey Stu, happy new year mate. read your comment on Darrens blog so I know how youre feeling. ouch, take it easy. lovely shot mate. Constructively I'd probably lessen the blur towards his lower torso and bring the bench/legs more into focus a little more as it seems his upper torso/sax is kind of detached from his surrounds. I had a similar problem with my 'Pronto' shot, with hindsight, I think I went a bit over the top, as Aidan most eloquently pointed out.

@H.O: many thanks Hiro!
@Angry Buddha: Thankyou Sean!
@Daniel: Thanks for visiting, Dan.

The blurring may be a bit over the top, but altogether, I'd say it's a brilliant image. Have a sparkling 2007, Stu!
